Cookie Policy

Effective date: 21 September 2026 1. ABOUT COOKIES This Cookie Policy explains how Meridian uses cookies and similar browser technologies on the Platform. Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed from your device. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels or device identifiers. 2. ESSENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES Essential technologies are used to provide requested functions, maintain secure sessions, remember privacy choices, balance traffic, prevent fraud and protect accounts. The Platform may not work correctly if these are blocked. These technologies are used because they are necessary to operate and secure the service. 3. PREFERENCE TECHNOLOGIES Preference technologies may remember choices such as interface settings or previously selected options. If used, they improve convenience but are not required for basic access. 4. ANALYTICS TECHNOLOGIES Analytics technologies may help Meridian understand page usage, performance, errors and general visitor patterns so the Platform can be improved. Where consent is required, non-essential analytics will be used only after consent. Analytics data should be configured to minimise unnecessary identification. 5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES Service providers supporting authentication, security, hosting, communications, analytics or embedded features may set or access technologies when their service is used. Their handling of information is governed by their own terms and privacy notices as well as Meridian’s contractual controls. Meridian does not authorise third parties to use Platform cookies to sell personal information. 6. MANAGING COOKIES You can use available consent controls and browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential technologies may prevent sign-in, document access or other secure functions. Browser help pages explain how to manage settings. Your choices may need to be repeated after deleting browser data or using another device. 7. RETENTION Cookie duration depends on purpose. Session cookies usually expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or deletion. Meridian and its providers should retain identifiers only as long as reasonably needed for their purpose and applicable legal requirements. 8. PRIVACY Information collected through these technologies is handled under Meridian’s Privacy Policy. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information associated with cookies. 9. UPDATES AND CONTACT This Policy may be updated when technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the latest version.
